Beauty & The Best Magazine is thrilled to announce its upcoming Sufi Soiree and Red Carpet Fashion Walk, a glittering evening celebrating culture, music, and high fashion. The star-studded event is scheduled to take place on August 21st at The Local Heights Lounge in Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi.
The evening will showcase breathtaking, glamorous outfits designed by the visionary British-Indian fashion designer Smrutha Santhosh. Making history in 2025 as the first British-Indian female fashion designer to walk the prestigious Cannes Film Festival red carpet, Smrutha captivated international audiences by wearing her own exquisite design alongside a model draped in a stunning lehenga saree adorned with real peacock feathers.
From Investment Banking to High Fashion: Smrutha Santhosh’s Journey
Smrutha’s journey into the world of design is as unique as her creations. Having lived in the UK for 23 years, she built a distinguished, highly structured career as a management consultant in investment banking. A few years ago, she channeled that exact precision, discipline, and professionalism into her true passion—fashion—founding Wow Vastra, a bespoke luxury label deeply rooted in India’s rich heritage of handwoven textiles, including Kanchipuram, Banarasi, Ajrakh, and Jamdani.
Smrutha Santhosh’s Fashion with a Purpose
For Smrutha, Wow Vastra is much more than a fashion label; it is a mission of empowerment and artistry. Every single piece designed under the brand is one-of-a-kind, meticulously crafted by traditional artisans across India whom she regards as true partners. Ensuring ethical practices, she provides them with a fair and regular income for their invaluable craftsmanship.
Going a step further, Smrutha actively empowers women within these artisan communities to become independent entrepreneurs. By providing financial support, loans for equipment such as sewing machines, and business guidance, she helps women build sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their families.
Reflecting on her core mission, Smrutha Santhosh shares:
“This is the real heart of Wow Vastra: every outfit we sell helps a woman in India stand a little taller.”
The Sufi Soiree promises to be an unforgettable night of soulful melodies, red-carpet elegance, and meaningful fashion that honors traditional Indian craftsmanship on a global scale.
